Disney Nail Art Series - Beauty and the Beast!

Hello
there lovely readers!

Now
this is something that I have been wanting to do on my blog for the
longest time & for various reasons prolonged but now I am finally
on it huzzah! As you may know about me, one of my great loves is
Disney. It played a huge part in my upbringing & still to this
day I love nothing more than taking a break from adulting &
indulging in a Disney movie marathon, immersing myself back into that
magical world. One of my best holidays was Christmas spent in
Disneyland Paris 4 years ago & I am yearning to visit
Florida's offering one day. So it would only make sense to channel
this passion of mine through another love which is of course....nail
art!

I
already have a few Disney themed manicures that I cannot wait to
share with you, I'll be exploring all sides of Disney, both Good and
Evil in my nail art series, so this will include not only Princesses
but Villains & additional characters as well, if you have any
requests then please do let me know! But to start off my Disney Nail
Art Series I thought I would begin with of course the main movie
remake that EVERYONE is talking about at the moment....Beauty and The
Beast which I went to see last Friday!

Beauty
and the Beast is one of my all time favourite Disney movies, so when
I heard they were remaking in to a live action film I was naturally
intrigued. I'll be honest, when they first started doing these movie
remakes of the Disney classics part of me did protest a bit with the
worry that they would not live up to the originals. But to be honest
I've actually enjoyed the ones they've done so far (Cinderella,
Malificent, The Jungle Book) & I'm looking forward to more! Of
course nothing will ever replace the originals for me but the live
action remakes have been surprisingly good & I'm happy to report
that I very much enjoyed the latest remake so definitely do go &
see it!

Onto
the nails! For my Beauty and The Beast themed nails there were many
routes I could've gone down but I didn't want to over complicate it
too much so decided to use two significant focal points of the
film...the enchanted rose & Belle's beautiful golden ballgown
that she wears in the now iconic dance scene.

Starting
simple yet suitably sparkly I used a really beautiful golden foil on
my thumb & pinkie fingers. This is 3 coats of Glam by LA Colors &
such a unique pale gold as there are also tiny specks of pink &
blue glitter in it which reminded me of Mrs Potts & Chips
crockery...remember I told you I had a thing for pretty crockery in
my previous post? I can't believe these polishes are just 99p form
Beauty Base & whenever I'm in Westfields I will almost always pop
in & add a few more to my collection as they are ridiculously
good!

I
then needed a suitable yellow shade for my nails that were to depict
Belle's dress. For my index & middle finger I applied two coats
of Lime Crime Crema De Limon a really beautiful creamy pale yellow
that applied like a dream in two coats.

Then
for the layered pleat details of the dress I used a slightly brighter
shade of yellow courtesy of Rimmel Sunshine & using a fine nail
art brush, free handed three curved upside down V's down the nail.

To
add a bit more magic to the dress nails I finished by applying rows
of tiny gold glitter dots using a random gold glitter polish & a
small dotting tool.

Finally
for my accent nail I created the Enchanted Rose! To do this I applied
two coats of white polish, here I've used a brand called
Saffron London which I picked up in a random beauty store for the crazy
price of £1 & is actually pretty darn decent!

To
add an ethereal glow to the white I applied one coat of Ulta3
Crystallina, a super pretty opalescent topcoat.

I
then grabbed my Ju Bilej fine nail art brushes & starting with a
green polish, again I used a random one that I reached for simply
because it was nearest, applied a thin curved line for the stem, before
adding some thorn & leaf detail along the edges.

Then
using the same fine brush & this time a beautiful red by Nails
Inc, Tate, I drew on the rose at the top of the stem, nothing fancy,
just roughly so that it looked like a rose more or less, not
forgetting to add a few dropping petals coming down.

Final
details of a clear rhinestone as the top of the glass case &
finish everything with topcoat! Definitely wait a wee while for the
rose to dry as you'll risk dragging the colour as you can see I did
here because I am an eejit & have no patience...O_o

And
thats my first manicure in my Disney Nail Art series! Hope you like
